Every movie and every TV series has a meaning. Even a bad movie is created by the director and actors with a lot of effort. Watching a movie is an experience, we don’t have to try our best to dig out all the value, but at least let this experience bring us something.
When watching this drama (personally think the plot is very powerful), I suddenly thought of this: we often pass the time boringly, often repeat the work like a machine, but these experiences do not bring us value, pleasure, relaxation and satisfy. When we act reflexively from our own experience like robots, it's time for ourselves to change.
It’s quite interesting between robots and humans. Please see the following dialogues (some are taken from the series, and some are added by themselves):

A: Do these machines reduce the value of human existence?

B: The best reason to humanize machines is not to machine humans. Chinese women workers spend 11 hours sewing soccer balls every day, Bangladeshi boys inhale poison gas while disassembling ships, and Bolivian miners risking their lives to go down to work. All this can be a thing of the past. The application of synthetic humans has liberated humans. We have treated humans as machines for too long. It is time to liberate human minds and bodies so that they can think and feel freely and live more humanely.

A: But many people think that work is a human right. Hard work makes you feel that your self-worth has been realized.

B: I think you should work in the microchip workshop for a week first.

A: Yes, yes, human beings can't stand repeated boring mechanical labor. However, I spent seven years in college to become a surgeon, and an old-fashioned robot can become an unsurpassed surgeon in a few minutes to read data. What is the significance of our hard work? What is the meaning of our human existence?

B: Existence is reasonable. If robots can reproduce, evolve, and surpass humans in the end, just like living organisms, that is the value created by humans. At that time, robots were higher-level beings, and humans were to robots as low-level animals were to humans. We transcend animals, and the existence of animals also has its own meaning.

A: In other words, one day robots treat us like we treat guinea pigs. Is this also the meaning of our existence? Shouldn't we think deeply and think about ways to avoid this kind of thing from happening?

B: This is just a possibility. We should not stand still because of uncertainty, and we will move forward sooner or later.
